Joan Growe v. Steve Simon, Minnesota Secretary of State

Summary

The court held that petitioners had standing and that their challenge concerning former President Trump’s placement on the 2024 presidential nomination primary ballot was ripe. It concluded, however, that including his name on that primary ballot would not constitute an error under the governing election statute because the primary is an internal party process and does not determine access to the general-election ballot. The court dismissed the petition, leaving petitioners free to renew their general-election claims when those claims become ripe.
